     Thanks Bernadette. This makes sense, I guess why take the vaccine particularly at that age and when you can actually do something about it. I was also under the impression that it covered other types and prevented other cancers.

    And if you take the vaccine and are exposed to the virus – the vaccine will fully protect you from getting HPV even though you got exposed?

    I had a look at the recording and as much as it makes sense to just monitor it yearly, I am still unsure what to make of it to be honest. My niece is about to have the vaccine – she is only 13 but she gets to only take it twice if she does it now as oppose to three later on if she decides to take it. Do you think the effect of the vaccine is more detrimental to its protection?

    Thank you for sharing. I am just finishing my IIN course and looking to dive into another course and expand my leaning. This is very helpful

    Thanks Bernadette. I thought glycinate was the one that stimulated the bowel. So starting slow and increasing the dosage according to how his body will react. 

    He is aware of the possible side effects and hopefully will take a few precautions. usually if there are none after a few weeks, it should be okay right?

    Collagen is a good one and he has started to take this. 

    Thanks again,

    Okay great. He currently takes one capsule of Thorn Citramate so he could increase his dose to three times daily (according to bottle instruction).

    what are your thoughts on glucosamine Hyaluronic acid chondroitin MSM? Seeing that this may cause joint and tendon issues. Would this help support its prevention?

    Thank you so much Bernadette. I have gone through your posts now – mitochondrial support is clearly key in this situation. As for the magnesium, how high is high? and can you take two/three pills together or would you need to spread them out throughout the day?

    I really appreciate all the information you have provided on this, thank you!

    Thank you Leen for the references. I am sorry your husband had to go through this and hope he is better and well now. I just cant believe that a medication like this is still being given and the doctor did not even bother explaining these very serious side effects let alone test before prescribing it. I have been reading more about this and its very concerning. 

    Bernadette is there anything that can be done to support the mitochondria?

    Hi Bernadette,

    Yes got all the links and went through them. (It wasnt as visible on the phone that why I missed them!) Thank you for the links and all the information above. 
    In terms of the anti microbial supplements, I assume now that he has taken the antiobiotics he wont need them for now. His stool colour is returning to normal and his nausea has gone. Not sure if its worth testing the stool at this point.  
    I just listened to the probiotic link – you mentioned that the Klaire Labs need to be refrigerated, I had no idea. I have been taking those but the bottle was at room temperature; same for the kids one. Its been over a couple of months now. Do I throw the bottles away?
    When you take the S Boulardii, can you also take probiotics at the same time?

    No he had no idea about any of the effects these drugs would have. 
    Sorry I just saw the rest of your message – it was cut for some reason. I will go through the gut course again but if there are any probiotics you can recommend that would be really appreciated.

    Hey Bernadette,

    He is on day 4 of both meds right now so I don’t think he can stop them? The dr had prescribed them for five days. 
    Is there anything he can do or take in the meantime to keep his immunity up and his gut health on track?

    Hi Bernadatte, 

    I am currently giving her the probiotics and at times kefir and fermented foods. She is due a blood test in two months to check her vitamin d levels so I guess i could do the OAT test then as well and see how she goes before taking it further. Is this a blood test or a stool test?

    Thank you 
    Lana

    Hey Bernadette

    Thank you once again for your prompt response. I havent looked at this section and will check it out absolutely. 
    So I am also attaching a blood test done in November when she did complain of a major stomach ache (lower right) and I thought it might be apendicitis – just to compare her results with this one. When we did the most recent test she was not unwell and did not complain of any tummy pain even though in general she does have bloating and gas. I have tried going down the kefir route which she will have but not often, so pro biotics may be a better option for her. 

    What will the OAT test show? Will it show if there is a infection?

    Will be looking into the iron section as well. 

    Thank you
